Mr. Jiang: "???"
What the heck?
Chu Xin trying to seduce him?
He always thought of Chu Xin as a dear little sister.
After all, she’s Mrs. Jiang’s close friend, and previously he wasn’t very warm to her, which made Mrs. Jiang feel he had slighted her friend and got angry with him.
But then he changed, and he could have a few words with Chu Xin; plus, with her enthusiasm, after a while, they even became familiar with each other.
And now!
They’re telling him that Chu Xin wants to seduce him.
Isn’t that unjust?
Mr. Jiang, shocked and pale, hurriedly said, "I don’t have any improper thoughts towards Chu Xin, your mother misunderstood!"
Jiang Nanshu looked at the bright sky outside and shrugged her shoulders, "Telling me is useless; you need to go explain it to her."
[Eh, the old man’s not so dumb after all. He guessed it right away. I thought it would take the stepmother’s arrival for him to face the truth.]
Mr. Jiang: "..."
Thank you for the heads-up, dear daughter.
Mr. Jiang hurried upstairs, leaving Jiang Nanshu utterly baffled.
Jiang Jingcheng, having been suspended for a few days, was now sitting on the sofa flipping through a medical book; Jiang Yunchuan had left the house, no one knew what for; Jiang Zhouye was resting upstairs; Jiang Hemian and Jiang Leyi left at noon.
Thinking of Jiang Leyi, Jiang Nanshu took a seat opposite Jiang Jingcheng and casually grabbed a bag of potato chips from under the coffee table.
She bit into them noisily.
[If I remember correctly, big brother dislikes being disturbed when he’s serious, right? Hee hee, does eating chips count? This sound is annoying, isn’t it!]
"Crunch crunch."
Jiang Jingcheng paused and looked up to see Jiang Nanshu looking at him, eyes gleaming. Caught in the act, she felt a bit guilty and turned her head away.
[No, why am I hiding! I should ask him more questions, disrupting his thoughts.]
"Ahem..." Jiang Nanshu cleared her throat: "Um, big brother..."
Jiang Jingcheng looked at her indifferently, waiting for her to continue.
[Yikes, is he mad? Looks like I’ll have to frequent the hospital more often!]
Jiang Jingcheng’s eyes darkened slightly, and his eyebrow raised almost imperceptibly, a fleeting smile crossing his lips.
He thought as much, Jiang Nanshu likes the hospital; she could consider pursuing this interest further.
His face grew colder: "Nothing to say?"
"Ah, no! Let me think, crunch crunch..." Jiang Nanshu kept eating while observing Jiang Jingcheng’s expression.
Finally, she found a sense of pride in his demeanor.
She had nearly felt defeated for two days.
At last, a normal person.
[Heh, this is more like it. The more irritated he is with me, the more I like it!]
Jiang Jingcheng: "..."
[What awkward topic should I bring up next, oh, that’s right...]
Jiang Nanshu smiled slightly: "Big brother, do you want to play an SM game with me?"
Jiang Jingcheng: "???"
The book in his hands loosened and fell to the floor; his indifferent face almost couldn’t hold.
"Play what?"
[Hahahahaha, scared silly, huh? I almost thought you had no other expression.]
Jiang Nanshu grinned: "It’s when you sleep, I steal your money, it’s really fun. Wanna try it?"
Jiang Jingcheng: "..."
"Hello? Nannan?"
Jiang Leyi’s voice was somewhat cautious.
Jiang Nanshu curled her lip, reluctantly speaking, "Where are you?"
Two seconds passed before Jiang Leyi responded with surprise, "I thought I saw the caller ID wrong. It’s the first time you’ve called me. What’s up?"
Jiang Nanshu sniffed, her voice harsh, "Enough with the nonsense, where are you? Forget it, just send me your live location! If I find out you haven’t returned to school and are just running around, I’ll tell Mom and Dad! You’re in a relationship!"
"Pfft." Jiang Leyi couldn’t hold back a laugh, "You’re so childish. I’m of age now, it’s okay for me to date."
"I haven’t dated, and you think you can? Don’t even think about having a better life than me," Jiang Nanshu almost gritted her teeth.
Damn it, the entire book depicted Jiang Leyi as having an extremely rich love life. Thanks to the first scumbag boyfriend, she became indifferent to men thereafter, settling with anyone willing to love her.
No wonder she ended up being scammed out of her organs, dying a destitute death on the streets, with Chu Muxi’s not-so-subtle encouragement.
In the end, it was the adoptive parents who collected Jiang Leyi’s remains.
Jiang Nanshu recalled the plot of the original story.
Jiang Leyi died three months after the original character.
After the real Jiang Leyi passed away in prison, it was her who arranged the real Jiang Leyi’s funeral.
Because by that time, the Jiang Family only had the fake golden child, Jiang Leyi.
Jiang Yisen died in a car accident.
Jiang Jingcheng, unable to afford treatment, eventually died after his ventilator was removed.
Jiang Hemian dismembered others and committed suicide out of fear when the police found out.
Jiang Zhouye, overwhelmed by scandals, saw his star career completely destroyed and vanished after a hater splashed sulfuric acid on him, while he was walking past a poster of his former glory.
Jiang Yunchuan died of kidney disease.
Mrs. Jiang’s death left Mr. Jiang’s mental health severely affected. After Jiang Hemian’s death, he completely lost his sanity and was confined in a dark mental asylum.
Therefore, after the real Jiang’s death, the police could only contact Jiang Leyi.
At that time, she too was struggling, just conned out of a kidney to save a tycoon’s "Bai Yueguang", and then discarded.
